Generally, if there is a difference in the middle number in the version
number (00 vs. 50), you can expect differences. In this particular case
the difference is one single feature, as far as I know, Unicode compression.
(Which ironically is available only in Enterprise Edition.) R2 was as
far as the Database Engine is concerned a miniscule release. But R2 
includes tons of stuff in the BI area.

Then again, despite your incident with the backup, I would not really
recommend the rush.
